Because this is a scholar of genocide and energy law, his article’s deletion without a debate is very likely to be controversial. Please use the process of WP:AfD instead. Bearian (talk) 03:44, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks’ noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

To edit in the Arab-Israeli topic area on Wikipedia accounts must be at least thirty days old and have at least 500 edits. This includes editing talk pages, with the sole exception being for simple and specific edit requests, which should be in the form of “change x to y for reason z”, complying with EDITXY.

@IOHANNVSVERVS are you claiming I can’t edit the talk page of the “Blood and Soil” article because it’s about the Arab-Israeli conflict. That seems incorrect Earlsofsandwich (talk) 02:34, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can edit the page Blood and Soil as long as the content you are editing isn’t about the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Zionism section of that article however is within the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 02:40, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That’s your claim. Isn’t there some process you need to go through? In the past I’ve seen articles be extended-protected automatically. Not some random editor reverting my comments in a talk page Earlsofsandwich (talk) 02:46, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is no process required, anyone is allowed to remove ECR violating edits.

And some pages are protected if all or most of their content is covered by the topic area, but not all pages are protected which have within them elemenrs of the topic. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 03:06, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Typically, I don’t access Wikipedia on a daily, or even weekly, basis. Thus, I’m just now learning of this dispute. I’m not sure I agree with IOHANNVSVERVS’s interpretation of WP:CT as it applies to the Zionist section of the article. In any case, I will address the substance of your comment in my reply on the talk page to BobFromBrockley. Mox La Push (talk) 04:13, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sugden, Oklahoma, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 2000 Census. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
